Stratos260 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I was nervous the whole time I was watching this. I don't think I could ever get comfortable enough to drive this fast in those narrow canals. There is some language when the crash happens. http://www.wired2fish.com/boat-crash-video-on-lake-okeechobee/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletDeuce Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I would have needed a fresh pair of drawers!!! Not much one can do when faced against another boat in an opening that narrow. They got lucky that it was a glancing blow & not a head on collision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 been a while ago but I never will forget a bad boat crash during a friday nite rodeo on boone up the holston side, 2 guys were in a boat that was new to them, I pretty sure it was a stratos 201 pro with a 225, it started raining and they collided with a 50 ft house boat, sad part it killed both of them! I was shown pics of that stratos the trolling motor was gone, the power head was cut off and the side of the boat was completely busted, everyone likes to run a little but knowing when to slow down could save your life or someone elses, I never want to see anything like that EVER AGAIN!! Be safe guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratos260 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 If you read the text it said they were doing about 45 when this happened. My boat only does about 40 and I couldn't imagine being at full speed in those narrow canals. I guess to the guys that fish down there all the time it's no big deal but I would be scared to death riding that boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 We run the salt marsh creeks like that, but they are a little wider. You can't slow down much or you come off plane and you get stuck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacsavage Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 We went out with a guide in his boat down there. I was a nervous wreck the whole time. HIs depth finder was usually reading under 2 ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
